THE FARMERS INSTITUTE AND
PRESIDENT NISW ONGER.

The Massillon Independent says:
THE discOurtesy OF President Niswon-
ger, in hastily adjouIning the Farmers
Institute, on saturday afternoon, should
be rebuked. a number of strangers
were present, who had prepared ad-
dresses. Mr.. A. McGregOr was in the
midst of very entertaining lecture
upon Scotland, and a large audience
was on hand, anxious to hear all and
more than the program promised. At
$40 o'clock, while Mr.. McGregOr had
the floor, the president of the Agricul-
tural Society cOOlly arose and declared
the meeting adjourned as train time
had come. OF course, at this signal the
audience quietly dispersed, although
loath to go. There was no occasion at
all for this unseemly haste. If Mr..
NiswOnger desired to leave. there were
plenty present who were Just as cOmpe-
tent as he to direct affairs, whom he
might have called to the chair. The
strange gentlemen felt hurt, and the
people of MassillOn, who were the hosts,
felt insulted, in having their hospitali-
ty disposed of in this summary man
ner. So far as they are concerned, they
deeply deplore the action of Mr.. Ms
wonger, and beg to assure the speakers
who should have had more time, that
the strange management of affairs IS
due entirely to the arbitrary whim of
one individual, and he stranger, and
not to the concerted action of others

The verdict created general surprise
and many expressions are heard crit.
cising the jury for their action, claim
ing that the evidence was insufficient
to convict him, while in the Morgan
case there was universal satisfaction in
regard to the verdict. Thus ends the
second trial in the series. But two bal.
lots were taken by the jury, one on the
guilt or innocense of the prisoner an0
one on the degree of the murder.

SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN has been
visiting New York this week on priv

is supposed to embrace two or three
other things, such as hobnobbing with
Frank Hatton, who has just started the
Press, a new Republican paper, but
strongly anti-Blaine, and attending the
Ohio Society, where he thawed out to
such an extent as to cause one of the
members to remark: "Why, Sherman

even have kissed babies if there had
been any present" He shook hands
with 300 odd members. Again, his

The Message to Contain $4,000 Word.


New YORK, Dec. Especial. "A
Washington special to the Tribune
says: "The President at the meetibg of
the Cabinet yesterday, submitted a
rough draft Of his forthcoming annual
message to Congress. 1t was fully dis
cussed for nearly four hours, and will
again be submitted on Friday to the
Cabinet in the form in which it is to be
sent to Congress. Meanwhile specula-
tion is rife as to the contents of what
will probably be one of the longest
official documents ever written by
Mr.. Cleveland. Those who know
say that it will contain 22,OOO words
From excellent sources it is confirmed
that Mr.. Bayard's department will
absorb the lions share of the Presidents
message.

men who were pioneers were making

blackmailed and discharged but they
never muImured. They were not

THE INCONSISTENCIES.
A Fierce Battle Between Them and the
Revenue Officers.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. g. Spec
ial. "A number of revenue officers
raided Sand mountain yesterday in
search of an illicit distillery which they
found and destroyed. They then hid
themselves in bushes and watched for
their game. In due time ten moonshin-
ers made their appearance, and as soon
as they saw the revenue officers they
opened fire on them with double bar
relied shot guns. The officers returned
the fire, and for ten minutes a terrib .
battle was waged from behind trees
and rocks. After the moonshiners had
used up all their ammunition they left
the field. But one of their number was
carried off mOrtally wounded. The
revenue officers will again raid the
mountain today hoping to capture
the whole party. They have gone to
Collinsville, Ind, for reinforcements.

Change of Venue Wanted.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Dec. Especial.
A motion for a change of venue in
the Stanyard case has been filed in the
Common Pleas Court, but no atlidavits
have yet been presented in support OF
it. The motion simply recites the be-
lief that the prisoner would be unable
to obtain a fair and impartial trial in
the county and applies for change OF
venue. The matter will probably come
up in court Saturday, when time for
the hearing of the motion will be set.
